Five Years (David Bowie acoustic cover)
Seu Jorge
The Life Aquatic W/ Steve Zissou, DVD Disc 2 (Special Features)
Tabbed by: Aaron Wolfe
Email: truegoogle@yahoo.com
Tuning: Standard
This song can only be found on the special features of the second disc of the DVD.
Therefore, I doubt many people will be seeing this tab. But I thought it worth tabbing,
because it has some interesting chords. I don't speak portuguese, so I recommend you
learn David Bowie's lyrics and compare them to this song. Email me if you'd like to
hear it.
Intro: Really just random, something like this. Play the intro by placing your fingers
flat against the fretboard so you mute all the strings, and lift up different strings
at once
G...which leads into the verse
e--------0-x----0-x------0x- --10\-3--|
B--------0-x---0--x------0x- --10\-3--|
G-----0----x---0--x-----0-x- etc ---0--0--|
D-----0----x--0---x----0--x- until: ---0--0--|
A---0------x--0---x--0----x- ---9\-2--|
E---0------x--0---x--0----x- --10\-3--|

I've only tabbed the G pattern, but it remains the same for the rest of the chords
G Em9...Asus2...C...repeat
e|-3---3-3-3-3-3---3-3-3-3-3---3-3-3-3-3-----2-----0-------0-----3-------|
B|-3---3-3-3-3-3---3-3-3-3-3---3-3-3-3-3-----3-----0-------1-----3-------|
G|-0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0-----0-----2-------0-----0-------|
D|-0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0-----2-----2-------2-----0-------|
A|-2---2-2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2-2-----2-----0-------3-----2-------|
E|-3---3-3-3-3-3---3-3-3-3-3---3-3-3-3-3-3-2-0---------------0-2-3-------|
Do this 3 times, then after the third C chord, go to this:
Asus2
e|-0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0---|
B|-0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-1---1-1-1-1-1---|
G|-2---2-2-2-2-2---2-0-0---0-0-0-0-0---|
D|-2---2-2-2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2-2-2---|
A|-0---0-0-0-0-0---0-2-3---3-3-3-3-3---|
E|-------------------0-----------------|
Do this twice, go back to a C chord, do one little measure of that, then do the D-Dsus4
below
e|-2--2-2--3--3-3--2--2-2-|
B|-3--3-3--3--3-3--3--3-3-|
G|-2--2-2--2--2-2--2--2-2-| then you can mess around with some steps, like
D|-0--0-0--0--0-0--0--0-0-| going from C to Asus2 to Em, whatever, then
A|------------------------| repeat the first part, and thats about it!
E|------------------------|
Thats a good cover of a good song. Again, you can Email me if you cannot/want to hear
song.
